Located next to Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field, the Arthur B. Edge Intercollegiate Athletics Center is the headquarters for the Georgia Tech athletics family. The four-story, $7 million facility, which was opened in February, 1982, is part of the J.C. "Bud" Shaw Sports Complex. The Edge Center contains more than 65,000 square feet of space and houses Tech's entire athletics program, including administrative offices, the Hearn Academic Center, locker rooms, training room, dining hall, and equipment room, plus a number of other facilities. The lobby is decorated with the "Circle of Champions," an elaborate display honoring all of Tech's individual and team national championships, including four national football titles. The "Circle of Champions" leads to the George W. Mathews, Jr., Athletic Heritage Center, a museum that chronicles Tech's rich athletics history. The Heritage Center is part of the Homer Rice Center for Sports Performance which was built as an extention to the Edge Center.
